Self Defense Mechanisms

from Podcasts Hosted by Sharon Hoskins and Janie Ratzlaff

“The spirit of a man will be his support and sustain him when he is ill, but a broken and crushed spirit, who can bear.” Proverbs 18:14 https://sharinhearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/MM_2025_02_07_Self-Defense-Mechanisms.mp3 How do you handle and react to frustration and troubling conflicts? Some explode. Some turn their backs and ignore the hurt and pain. Others carry it inside and have unusual defense mechanisms that are hard to recognize. When we want to be strong in spirit, we must be pure in heart. Learning to observe what sounds good may be a cover for a heart that is coping and not really caring. Don’t get trapped in Defense Mechanisms that substitute reality in relationships. We have been given The Great Escape. Let’s use it!!
